Work ex: 0 (around 8-9 months gap at the time of WAT/GD/PI, holding an offer from IT major but haven't received joining yet)

I have some queries:

Q1: When will the permanent campus start operating? Will we be able to see it before graduating?

Q2: Whats the scene on student exchange? Will it be available in our time?


As of now we are being mentored by IIM L and do not have our own director yet. The permanent campus discussion will be mooted once director is appointed (which will happen very soon )

On students exchange program, we are working on it

Work Ex: TCS (15 months, at the end of this month)

Got call From 5 new IIMs(Raipur,udaipur,kashipur,trichi,rohtak)
Is there any chance , to get any of the above IIMs on the basis of this profile ??
And also I have applied only DMS-IITD and SJMSOM and IMT Ghaziabaad apart from the above calls from IIMs.
Any realisitic chance of selection in IITs??

Please be frank of what are my chances of getting through to any of the above.

I need to start preparing For GD PI but had no clue how to do that.
Please guide me as in how can I start and how should i prepare myself.


As I have mentioned earlier that everyone who has a call can surely convert given that the performance in the second stage is good(by which I mean )

Prepare well...ATB

IF WAT SGOULD BE THE AREAS WHERE I SHOULD FOCUS ON. HOW TO PREPARE FOR WAT.


WAT : You will have to express your views on the topic provided. Here your written executive communication skills will be tested. Watch out for grammatical errors.

PI : Questions from your acads and WorkEx may be asked. Be ready with answers for 'why did you join NGO' , 'what did you learn' , 'Why MBA' , Hobbies, 'tell me something about yourself' etc...During interview, keep your cool and do not lie...

On chances of a convert i'd say; you have been provided with an opportunity, do make it count...

Cheerio

Prepare well

Time Limit:15 min
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been the buzz topic off late especially in the retail sector of India. It is the capital invested by a foreign firm in any domestic company. FDI has always been kind of love-hate relationship in an economy. It creates jobs, improves technology and provides opportunities for an economy to grow. But at the same time it also might bring in strong foreign intervention in major decision-making process of nation.
As per the current proposition by Cabinet, the current limit of 51% in Single Brand Retail is proposed to be increased to 100% and that in Multi-Brand Retail to 51% allowing significant involvement of foreign players like Wal-Mart and Telco in Indian Retail sector. There are various parties affected due to the clauses mentioned in the proposition.
Indian framer is to benefit the most as pointed out by ICRIER survey which suggests the direct purchase by these players from farmers can help farmers to get as much as 60% more than what they are getting. But the other side of issue is that they can control pricing in the market.
The unorganized retail i.e mom and pop shops are supposed to be affected quite severely due to induction of the giant players. It was one of the major reasons for the proposition not getting approval on political front when it was first proposed.
But all is not lost for these unorganized retailers as they can always use the nearest concept to their advantage as compared to best and cheap used by these foreign retailers. Also it would take a lot of time to eradicate the services like credit banking, home delivery, flexible timings, trustworthy products provided by these retailers.
Consumers are in complete win-win situation as they get exposure to better choices, pricing, services, products and much more. A consumer thus benefits a lot by significant elimination of middlemen and foreign retailer.
The Indian giants are other party which may be affected. As for eg Bata might provide high quality and reliability but not cheap price of Wal-Mart. So again that would have major impact on Indian Retailer.
So to sum it up FDI in Indian Retail Sector is set to affect different parties differently and bringing in a wave of change for the retail and other sectors in India.

Hi folks,
Firstly a heart felt thanks to you all for all the pain and effort you are taking in helping us out.
Following is my score breakup
10th: 81.2
12th: 79.6
Graduation Marks: CGPI: 72.0, Average: 75.2
Graduation Stream: B.Tech Computer Science, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi.
Work Ex Details: 55 months as on 31st Jan 2012
37 months (2007 to 2010) - Oracle Financial Software Services, formerly i-flex Solutions.
JP Morgan India Limited, till date
CAT Percentile(Overall with break-up scores): OA: 97.32 percentile
(Verbal & Logical Reasoning: 96.88 & Quantitative & Data Interpretation: 94.53).
I have also cleared CFA level I exams from CFA Institute, USA.

This is the first time I will be giving an interview for MBA. I am very keen to clear it and make this through. However not sure, how do i go about preparing for the next rounds so that the institute wants me as much as i want to be a part of the institute.
Also the admission policy says that there a GD is also a part of evaluation process. the impression I had was that all the new IIMs will be conducting a common WAT and PI. Can you please shed some light on the same.
Any suggestions are welcome.

First thing you can do is surf through this thread from page 1 and other threads of respective IIM's you have been shortlisted.. You'll get a fair idea of how to go about with IInd stage prep..
All the Best for WAT/PI!
